Calculated the gravitational potential energy of a 93.0 kg sky diver who is 550 m above the ground

1 answer:

4 0

Equation for Gravitation Potential Energy...
GPe = m·g·h
where m = mass in kg = 93.0 kg
g = force of gravity = 9.81 m/s²
<span>h = height in meters = 550m
</span>
GPe = mgh
GPe = (93)(9.81)(550)
GPe = 501781.5 Joules (J)
GPe = 5.02 x 10⁵ J (rounded & in scientific notation)

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of a person of mass 93.0kg who is 550m above the ground is GPe = 501781.5 Joules (J)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer is (d) is totally reflected

Explanation:

Using the total internal reflection concept.

This concept state that:

"If the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle then the light will not refract but it will reflect back totally"

Using the above statement, as incident angle is 42 degree and critical angle is 41 degree it means incident angle is greater than the critical angle. Therefore, light will not refract but it will totally reflected.

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6ft, 6 in. tall and the initial velocity of the ball is 30 f

Ainat [17]

The equation is garbled and the question is missing.

I found this equation for the same statement:

S = - 2.7t ^2 + 30t + 6.5

And one question is: after how many seconds is the ball 12 feet above the moon's surface?

Given that S is the height of the ball, you just have to replace S with 12 and solve for t.

=> 12 = - 2.7 t^2 + 30t + 6.5

=> 2.7t^2 - 30t - 6.5 + 12 = 0

=> 2.7t^2 - 30t + 5.5 = 0

Now you can use the quadratic equation fo find t:

t = { 30 +/- √ [30^2) - 4(2.7)(5.5)] } / (2*2.7)

=> t = 0.186s and t = 10.925 s

Answer: after 0.186 s the ball is at 12 feet over the surface, and again 10.925 s

A brass statue with a mass of 0.40 kg and a density of 8.00×103kg/m3 is suspended from a string. When the statue is completely s

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

ρ = 1469 kg/m³

Explanation:

given,

mass of statue = 0.4 Kg

density of statue = 8 x 10³ kg/m³

tension in the string = 3.2 N

density of the fluid = ?

Volume of the statue

$V = \dfrac{0.4}{8\times 10^3}$

V = 5 x 10⁻⁵ m³

W = ρ g V

W = ρ x 9.8 x 5 x 10⁻⁵

now, tension on the string will be equal to

T = mg - W

3.2 = 0.4 x 9.8 - ρ x 9.8 x 5 x 10⁻⁵

ρ x 9.8 x 5 x 10⁻⁵ = 0.72

ρ = 1469 kg/m³

What is one characteristic of a sample of matter that indicates it is a pure substance? A) It can be separated using by a physic

snow_lady [41]

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

Explanation:

A) It can be separated by using physical means, such as filtering.

Of course using physical means as filtration or crystallization we increase the purity of a compound, however sometimes impurities may remain dissolved in the solution or they may co-precipitate with the analysed sample.

B) The components in a pure substance do not have to be in definite ratios.

If the components in a substance do not have definite rations it means the the substance is not pure, it is a mixture of something.

C) If the composition of a sample varies, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample varies, it means that different components in the substance are changing so it is a clue that the substance is not pure.

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample is fixed, and it can be determined and proven, the substance is pure.
